Bruce Davies is an Artist / Writer and Curator of Basement Arts Project. His work looks primarily at the relationship between artist, gallery and viewer; how environments can shape the perception and understanding of an artwork and how a space can alter the nature of the work itself. It has been this line of enquiry along with four years as the organiser, curator, project manager and founder member of the Peripheral Artist Collective that led to the formation of Basement Arts Project. He is also a Co-Director and writer for South Leeds Life

As Basement Arts Project Bruce has developed a programme which has, over the last decade, become embedded in the South Leeds Community. He has created an established programme of activities and exhibitions throughout the year at his South Leeds venue. Basement Arts Project participate regularly in external events that have taken many artist’s work to Jamestown USA, Sweden, Manchester, London, Liverpool and other venues around Leeds.

Basement Arts Project is regularly involved in projects that revolve around community participation as well as supporting and assisting in the development of artists work for other purposes.

About the Podcast

Working Hours
The Story of Work in Leeds in the 2020s
What do you do?
Western Studios, Leeds presents Working Hours: a podcast series surveying the people of Leeds on their thoughts and feelings on the topic of work. I want to talk to my city about work. Why do we do it? Do we like it? What could we do differently? What will we? How does work change and how does it change us?
Leeds, the largest city in the largest county on the UK mainland, is a former imperial textile centre and is now a major UK financial centre. This series will document the city’s experiences through Lockdown, Brexit, creeping technological unemployment, new and continuing resource wars, the ongoing dismantling of the welfare state and our accelerating ecological emergency.
If you are in Leeds or from Leeds then help me to reach my target of interviewing 1000 Loiners over the 2020s. Let me ask you, what do you do?
